config WLAN_PRE80211
bool "Wireless LAN (pre-802.11)"
depends on NETDEVICES
---help---
Say Y if you have any pre-802.11 wireless LAN hardware.
This option does not affect the kernel build, it only
lets you choose drivers.
config STRIP
tristate "STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP)"
depends on INET && WLAN_PRE80211
select WIRELESS_EXT
---help---
Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio
IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project
(on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet
traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery
powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and
weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called
"Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads
many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a
phone line and use it as a modem.)
You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you
think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm
in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit
bigger.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called strip.
config ARLAN
tristate "Aironet Arlan 655 & IC2200 DS support"
depends on ISA && !64BIT && WLAN_PRE80211
select WIRELESS_EXT
---help---
Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the
www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
<http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information.
The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.
On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some
time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it.
config WAVELAN
tristate "AT&T/Lucent old WaveLAN & DEC RoamAbout DS ISA support"
depends on ISA && WLAN_PRE80211
select WIRELESS_EXT
---help---
The Lucent WaveLAN (formerly NCR and AT&T; or DEC RoamAbout DS) is
a Radio LAN (wireless Ethernet-like Local Area Network) using the
radio frequencies 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz.
If you want to use an ISA WaveLAN card under Linux, say Y and read
the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Some more specific
information is contained in
<file:Documentation/networking/wavelan.txt> and in the source code
<file:drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.p.h>.
You will also need the wireless tools package available from
<http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
Please read the man pages contained therein.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called wavelan.
config PCMCIA_WAVELAN
tristate "AT&T/Lucent old WaveLAN Pcmcia wireless support"
depends on PCMCIA && WLAN_PRE80211
select WIRELESS_EXT
help
Say Y here if you intend to attach an AT&T/Lucent Wavelan PCMCIA
(PC-card) wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer. This
driver is for the non-IEEE-802.11 Wavelan cards.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called wavelan_cs. If unsure, say N.
config PCMCIA_NETWAVE
tristate "Xircom Netwave AirSurfer Pcmcia wireless support"
depends on PCMCIA && WLAN_PRE80211
select WIRELESS_EXT
help
Say Y here if you intend to attach this type of PCMCIA (PC-card)
wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called netwave_cs. If unsure, say N.
config WLAN_80211
bool "Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11)"
depends on NETDEVICES
---help---
Say Y if you have any 802.11 wireless LAN hardware.
This option does not affect the kernel build, it only
lets you choose drivers.

depends on PCMCIA && WLAN_80211
select WIRELESS_EXT
---help---
Say Y here if you intend to attach an Aviator/Raytheon PCMCIA
(PC-card) wireless Ethernet networking card to your computer.
Please read the file <file:Documentation/networking/ray_cs.txt> for
details.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called ray_cs. If unsure, say N.
config IPW2100
tristate "Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection"
depends on PCI && WLAN_80211
select WIRELESS_EXT
select FW_LOADER
select IEEE80211
---help---
A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network
Connection 802.11b wireless network adapter.
See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2100> for information on
the capabilities currently enabled in this driver and for tips
for debugging issues and problems.
In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
You can obtain the firmware from
<http://ipw2100.sf.net/>. Once you have the firmware image, you
will need to place it in /lib/firmware.
You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
configure your card:
<http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
It is recommended that you compile this driver as a module (M)
rather than built-in (Y). This driver requires firmware at device
initialization time, and when built-in this typically happens
before the filesystem is accessible (hence firmware will be
unavailable and initialization will fail). If you do choose to build
this driver into your kernel image, you can avoid this problem by
including the firmware and a firmware loader in an initramfs.
config IPW2100_MONITOR
bool "Enable promiscuous mode"
depends on IPW2100
---help---
Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2100 driver.
With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this
mode, no packets can be sent.
config IPW2100_DEBUG
bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2100 module."
depends on IPW2100
---help---
This option will enable debug tracing output for the IPW2100.
This will result in the kernel module being ~60k larger. You can
control which debug output is sent to the kernel log by setting the
value in
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2100/debug_level
This entry will only exist if this option is enabled.
If you are not trying to debug or develop the IPW2100 driver, you
most likely want to say N here.
config IPW2200
tristate "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG Network Connection"
depends on PCI && WLAN_80211
select WIRELESS_EXT
select FW_LOADER
select IEEE80211
---help---
A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG Network
Connection adapters.
See <file:Documentation/networking/README.ipw2200> for
information on the capabilities currently enabled in this
driver and for tips for debugging issues and problems.
In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it.
You can obtain the firmware from
<http://ipw2200.sf.net/>. See the above referenced README.ipw2200
for information on where to install the firmware images.
You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
configure your card:

config IPW2200_MONITOR
bool "Enable promiscuous mode"
depends on IPW2200
---help---
Enables promiscuous/monitor mode support for the ipw2200 driver.
With this feature compiled into the driver, you can switch to
promiscuous mode via the Wireless Tool's Monitor mode. While in this
mode, no packets can be sent.
config IPW2200_RADIOTAP
bool "Enable radiotap format 802.11 raw packet support"
depends on IPW2200_MONITOR
config IPW2200_PROMISCUOUS
bool "Enable creation of a RF radiotap promiscuous interface"
depends on IPW2200_MONITOR
select IPW2200_RADIOTAP
---help---
Enables the creation of a second interface prefixed 'rtap'.
This second interface will provide every received in radiotap
format.
This is useful for performing wireless network analysis while
maintaining an active association.
Example usage:
% modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
% ifconfig rtap0 up
% tethereal -i rtap0
If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' as a module parameter then
the rtap interface will not be created and you will need to turn
it on via sysfs:
% echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface
config IPW2200_QOS
bool "Enable QoS support"
depends on IPW2200 && EXPERIMENTAL
config IPW2200_DEBUG
bool "Enable full debugging output in IPW2200 module."
depends on IPW2200
---help---
This option will enable low level debug tracing output for IPW2200.
Note, normal debug code is already compiled in. This low level
debug option enables debug on hot paths (e.g Tx, Rx, ISR) and
will result in the kernel module being ~70 larger. Most users
will typically not need this high verbosity debug information.
If you are not sure, say N here.
config LIBERTAS

config AIRO
tristate "Cisco/Aironet 34X/35X/4500/4800 ISA and PCI cards"
depends on ISA_DMA_API && WLAN_80211 && (PCI || BROKEN)
select WIRELESS_EXT
select CRYPTO
---help---
This is the standard Linux driver to support Cisco/Aironet ISA and
PCI 802.11 wireless cards.
It supports the new 802.11b cards from Cisco (Cisco 34X, Cisco 35X
- with or without encryption) as well as card before the Cisco
acquisition (Aironet 4500, Aironet 4800, Aironet 4800B).
This driver support both the standard Linux Wireless Extensions
and Cisco proprietary API, so both the Linux Wireless Tools and the
Cisco Linux utilities can be used to configure the card.
The driver can be compiled as a module and will be named "airo".
config HERMES
tristate "Hermes chipset 802.11b support (Orinoco/Prism2/Symbol)"
depends on (PPC_PMAC || PCI || PCMCIA) && WLAN_80211
select WIRELESS_EXT
---help---
A driver for 802.11b wireless cards based on the "Hermes" or
Intersil HFA384x (Prism 2) MAC controller. This includes the vast
majority of the PCMCIA 802.11b cards (which are nearly all rebadges)
- except for the Cisco/Aironet cards. Cards supported include the
Apple Airport (not a PCMCIA card), WavelanIEEE/Orinoco,
Cabletron/EnteraSys Roamabout, ELSA AirLancer, MELCO Buffalo, Avaya,
IBM High Rate Wireless, Farralon Syyline, Samsung MagicLAN, Netgear
MA401, LinkSys WPC-11, D-Link DWL-650, 3Com AirConnect, Intel
IPW2011, and Symbol Spectrum24 High Rate amongst others.
This option includes the guts of the driver, but in order to
actually use a card you will also need to enable support for PCMCIA
Hermes cards, PLX9052 based PCI adaptors or the Apple Airport below.
You will also very likely also need the Wireless Tools in order to
configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works :
<http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>
config APPLE_AIRPORT

help
Say Y here to support the Airport 802.11b wireless Ethernet hardware
built into the Macintosh iBook and other recent PowerPC-based
Macintosh machines. This is essentially a Lucent Orinoco card with
a non-standard interface.
This driver does not support the Airport Extreme (802.11b/g). Use
the BCM43xx driver for Airport Extreme cards.
config PLX_HERMES
tristate "Hermes in PLX9052 based PCI adaptor support (Netgear MA301 etc.)"

help
Enable support for PCMCIA cards supported by the "Hermes" (aka
orinoco) driver when used in PLX9052 based PCI adaptors. These
adaptors are not a full PCMCIA controller but act as a more limited
PCI <-> PCMCIA bridge. Several vendors sell such adaptors so that
802.11b PCMCIA cards can be used in desktop machines. The Netgear
MA301 is such an adaptor.

Enable support for PCI and mini-PCI 802.11b wireless NICs based on
the Prism 2.5 chipset. These are true PCI cards, not the 802.11b
PCMCIA cards bundled with PCI<->PCMCIA adaptors which are also
common. Some of the built-in wireless adaptors in laptops are of
this variety.
config PCMCIA_HERMES
tristate "Hermes PCMCIA card support"

---help---
A driver for "Hermes" chipset based PCMCIA wireless adaptors, such
as the Lucent WavelanIEEE/Orinoco cards and their OEM (Cabletron/
EnteraSys RoamAbout 802.11, ELSA Airlancer, Melco Buffalo and
others). It should also be usable on various Prism II based cards
such as the Linksys, D-Link and Farallon Skyline. It should also
work on Symbol cards such as the 3Com AirConnect and Ericsson WLAN.
You will very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to
configure your card and that /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts works:
